'Yesterday several letters were received from the Continent, which positively assert that the KING of PRUSSIA had declared his intention of joining Aus tria, and that a very considerable body of forces under BLUCHER hadaEtually marched for that pur pose. They also repeat the report which has of late reached us from so many quarters, of the defeaion of Russia from the cause of France. If the foitn e er part of this statement were true, we sliculd have no doubt as to the latter, because the KING of PRussirt certainly would not venture to declare against France, unless he were sure of the support of Rus sia. We are not, however, inclined to give much credit to any pait of the account. We are happy to have it in our power , to contra dia the teport which has recently been so indus triously circulated respecting the illness of our troops at Elvas. They were in general, when the last ac crlunts came away, in good health. Several cases of dysentery had, certainly occurred, but most of the men who were attacked by it are completely reco_ vered. We can easily account for the vehemence. with Which Lord WELLINGTON is attacked in the French Papers. No Officer in our service has clone more to excite the dislike of BLMNAPARTE than his Lord ship; he must kherefoie make up his mind to submit to the constant attacks ofthe Moniteur; But it is a little singular that his Lordship should be seleeled as . an obje& of persecution by some of the English Papers, and that a General; ,Who has fought so many battles, and gainql. so many viaories, should in his absence be daily the objea of the most un founded attacks. But Lord WELLINGTON had once the misfortune of holding a miristerial situation, and' the rancour of party has pursued' him, and probably will continue to pursue him, as long as the politics of his fan - illy continue to _be adverse to the ambi tious views of the. Talents. The _report which was in circulation a few days ago, respeding the probabilit7 of' a Mission from this Country, took its rise from the' circumstance of a Gentleman having lately set otjt for &auce, having obtained letters of credit from a Banking H0U:...1 upon Paris, to ihe amount of 6or 70001. We be lieve the ot)jed of this Gentleman's journey merely related to the British prisonerj lett at Talavera. J. W. CROKER, Esq. M.
